Personally, I usually fly the analog.

DURING TAXI
- Turn on both flight directors
- Have the flaps extended (or else it won't go into TAK OFF)
- Push the TOGA buttons - TAK OFF will appear in both roll and pitch windows.
- Make sure T/O or T/O FLEX is selected on the TRI panel
Takeoff:
- Align on runway
- (Assuming you have ATC clearance of course
)
- Advance power to about 1.4 EPR.
- When engines stabilizer, turn A/T switch on. "EPR TO" or "EPR 45" (assuming flex 45, otherwise you'll see another number there) will appear on the speed window
- Throttles advance to the takeoff EPR limit set on the TRI
- at 60kts, the throttles stop adjusting and "CLMP" appears.
At roughly 1000ft up, press CL on the TRI, and EPR CL automatically appers on the speed window and power is reduced to the Climb limit.
Kind Regards,
